Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance: New Poster and early reviews!

Via  Comic Book Movie, Colombia Pictures has released a new poster of Nicholas Cage's new Ghost Rider film, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Once again reprising his role as the cursed motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, he must once again ride into adventure as his hell spawn alter ego, protecting the lives of a mother and child while facing a new dark threat bent on destroying them. Check out the poster itself, featuring the rider riding and dishing out some hellfire justice.

The film recently premiered at Harry Knowles annual "Butt-Numb-A-Thon" over at the states, and early reviews were generally unfavorable. It won't be until next year still anyway, but that's not a good sign at all. Also, I just recently found out that this IS NOT a sequel to the 2007 Ghost Rider, and as the wikipedia states, a whole new origin sequence will be filmed.

First Look: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance teaser poster!

Coming Soon and SuperheroHype have debuted the first exclusive look at the teaser poster to the new Ghost Rider sequel coming out next year, "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance"! The teaser image shows the gloved hand of Marvel's supernatural antihero, holding his trademark chain and setting some hellfire on it at the same time. It's a tease in every sense of the word, and not a bad poster at all for fans of the franchise to embrace.

Once again starring Nicholas Cage as Johnny Blaze/ Ghost Rider, the adventure takes place several years after the first film, with Blaze placing himself in a self-imposed exile because of his curse. However, he is called back into action by Moreau, a member of the monastic order of Michael, who tasks Blaze with the protection of a mother and child from a person known only as Roarke, who has knowledge of the Ghost Rider and his legend. A teaser trailer for the movie is expected to hit soon, so check back for updates time and again. For more on the story, visit the source post at Superherohype!

New Captain America Poster and Thor 2 gets a release date!

Marvel.com has released this slick new international poster for Captain America: The First Avenger! It's a cool one sheet with the entire cast of the movie lined up with a maskless Chris Evans/ Captain America in the front, while a huge head of Hugo Weaving's Red Skull looks over with mean eyes over the background. You can check out more info and details from the source post at Marvel.com!

Movie blog and news site Screen Rant reports that "Thor 2" has been given a official release date, and it will appear under the Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Entertainment banner come July 26, 2013! Yes, the God of Thunder will be joining his fellow Avenger Iron Man the following year after "Avengers" hits theaters on May 4, 2012, so since Ol' Shellhead's next sequel, "Iron Man 3", is slated for a May 3, 2013 release date, Thor 2 shows nearly three months after that! Unfortunately, Kenneth Branagh won't be returning to direct the film, so the only question now is who can follow in his footsteps? For more info, visit the source post at Screen Rant.

The official title of Batman 3:The Dark Knight Rises!

Finally, after months of news bits and minor updates, the next Christopher Nolan Bat-flick gets an official title!

According to movie news site Slash Film, Chris Nolan revealed in an interview with Hero Complex that the next Bat-flick would be titled "The Dark Knight Rises". Details have been so secretive that no one knew exactly what the next film's title was going to be, with "Shadow of the Bat" and "The Caped Crusader" among the list of guesses the fans made. Well, now that we have an official title, all that's left is to learn the official plot and who will be the big baddy Bruce Wayne's alter ego will face in the next sequel. Unfortunately, one rumor that can be debunked now is the appearance of The Riddler, whom Nolan says will NOT be in the film. Chris pointed out in the interview that he'll be using many of the same characters established in the last two movies, with some new ones being introduced in the new flick. That's kinda disappointing, especially since Inception actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt would have been perfect for the role in my honest opinion. His co-star however, Tom Hardy, was recently cast in the next Bat-flick, but he still hasn't been pegged a part, and more guessing games are going on with the fans concerning that mystery. Still, we'll probably find out more news soon enough now that a name has been given to Batman 3!

The Dark Knight Rises is slated for a July 20, 2012 release!
